Huge fan of Garner's work. Maverick, Rockford Files. Rockfish was one of the good ones.

One of my favorite actors of all time. I grew up watching the Rockford Files, loved the car too. Started watching the show again in the early 90's when A&E used to show it all of the time. Enjoyed just about anything he did. He made everyone, while on the screen, feel like he wasn't acting, that he was really that person.

Best part of the show was the theme music.

I have a 1974 Firebird in my Mom's garage exactly like the one in season one of the Rockford Files... except mine doesn't have power windows.

Original paint, 80,000 miles, been stored in a garage for more than 25 years. Needs a fresh motor. I want to restore it if I ever have time. It's an Esprit... Dark brown. 75,000 Firebirds were made in 1974, 22,500 Esprits. Probably not too many of them remain.
